The color out of.....China

Now it's paint sets imported from China that have been found to present a possible health risk -- story here. (And that's not even counting any possible brain effects from viewing the garish paint job on the toy store depicted.)

Link sent by Mendip, who comments: "There seems to be a difference between this country and China. Here, we have had fellows like George Washington Carver creating dozens of products just from peanuts. In China, they have the same type of person, but they’re doing it with lead, rat poison, etc. It’s ironic that the so-called Communists of that land seem unaware or in opposition to many of the points brought up in Sinclair’s “The Jungle”, (which was supposed to be propaganda for a Socialistic change in America). We have several excellent Asian groceries in our area that my wife and I used to frequent, (there are various moderate to large populations of various Eastern nationalities in Northern Virginia), and we’ve pulled away – aware that none of this stuff is really being checked, there or here. I’m now hesitant to even eat at a Chinese restaurant!"

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
